Ripple Directs $300K to Emergency Assistance

A $300,000 Ripple donation will support emergency food, water, and sanitation assistance after destructive flooding struck Nepal and Tibet. The blockchain payments company shared the contribution Aug. 28 on X, naming World Central Kitchen, a nonprofit that provides meals during humanitarian emergencies, and Mercy Corps, an organization that delivers humanitarian aid and supports disaster recovery, as the recipients.

The company described the donation’s intended purpose during the unfolding humanitarian response:

“Ripple is donating $300,000 to World Central Kitchen and Mercy Corps to support emergency meal distribution and water and sanitation efforts on the ground.”

Flooding has devastated communities along Nepal’s Bhote Koshi and Trishuli river corridors. Critical infrastructure has been severely damaged. Mercy Corps is coordinating with local authorities and humanitarian partners to assess immediate needs and support the emergency response.
